While at the ripe old age of 29, so VERY many of these things had me giggling and shaking my head thinking, "true.....true!", this one HAD to be my favorite: There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far. Regarless of age, we've all been there in that "Oh, nooooo!" moment, just as you catch yourself from flipping backward off the chair to inevitable injury, and worse, EMBARASSMENT! LOVED IT -- thanks for sharing this priceless little gem! I will be sending in on to other 20/30-something friends of mind who are sure to appreciate it as much as I did!

Right on, SSNM! Can I get a witness!!! THANK YOU for not thinking my opinion makes me a monster...and for agreeing with the point that I was trying to make. It IS dangerous, and it ISN'T fair that I am the bad guy for not wanting to have/serve dinner in "Romper Room", either!

I'm not a parent yet, so I can only speak as a patron....and as a former waitress of many years! What bothers me most are people that let their toddlers/kids run wild or don't even tell them to stop when their kid is incessantly kicking the booth, when YOU are seated on the other side!! I'm paying just as much as they are to dine there, so why should I have to feel like I am a "bad" person just because I am not entertained by their "little angels" behavior? I, for one, get sick of having to sit there and pretend to smile as if I am overjoyed to have my dining experience with my family and friends overtaken by the people we were unfortunate to be seated near! Once, I kid you not, someone's little boy actually climbed up into our booth when we were at a Cheesecake Factory in Baltimore, and the parents took close to 5 minutes to come over and get their kid from complete strangers while they laughed and giggled about how cute it was! Cute? Hardly! RUDE and actually, really unsafe in today's world. And, I'd like to mention that some of my friends with kids have vowed not to take them out to a "civilized" restaurant (something more sophisticated than McDonald's is what I am saying) when their child is too young to know how to behave in public....and I applaud them for it. I am most likely going to take the same stance, having waitressed for years in high school and college, and also know what a "joy" it is first hand to have to watch your every step with a heavy tray of hot food, because they can't be bothered to keep their child under control, and more importantly, at the table! And let me say, even though it's sooooo totally wrong, it would have been MY fault (or any other server's for that matter in the eyes of the parents and the managment) if we would have fallen and spilled hot soup or coffee all over someone's 2 year old because they were playing in the walkways, underfoot......grrrrrrr. But hey, that's just my humble little opinion...hope y'all don't hate me too much for it!

Loved it so much I did it TWICE! --------------------- Selecting your bridesmaids?

Welcome aboard! As you most likely already know, you will LOVE this incredible forum!

THEY LOOK BEAUTIFULLLLLLLL!! And, I too especially LOVE the pics of your and your FI -- what an adorable pair!

OMG!!!!! THAT IS PHENOMENALLY-WONDERFUL NEWS, Denise!! I am smiling from ear-to-ear right now for you -- and I think that was a smart move to sweeten her up a little bit with your awesome midterm score! SOOOOO super excited for you and glad that you can finally find some peace now that the Mouse is out of the BAG (get it? Mickey Mouse, not cat!) Ugh, I know, I'm cheesy, but I couldn't help but try to incorporate a little more of Walt Disney World here since THAT IS WHERE YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED, parents and all!

Sorry I saw this so late, but CONGRATULATIONS and HIGH-FIVES on your NEW RIDE~!! That is always such a super exciting feeling, to be sitting behind the wheel of a new car, and you've got a beautiful one, at that!

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ERIKKKAAAA! Happy Birthday tooooo YOOOUUUU!" Hope you are feeling better and having a well-derserved FANTASTIC birthday!

CONGRATULATIONS, MRS.! Ooh, la la... a la France! A TRUE FAIRYTALE, INDEED, Gracie -- and what a beautiful Cinderella bride you were, complete with your perfect castle and handsome Prince Charming! You've lived out every little girl's dream.... NOW I SIMPLY CAN'T WAIT to see more pics; I am sure they are going to be just as magical as the ones you've already shown us!

Denise, I am SOOOO glad you've decided to go with the letter! Like I said before, maybe it will give them a chance to read it and actually "hear" you, and perhaps they will cool down before they contact you. And, this is a really great opportunity for you to remind them that you are an adult now, and that if they can't love you and be supportive, then you don't need their abuse and negativity in your life. It sounds like you've got the love of your FI and FMIL in spades, and that is the best news of all! Wishing you luck, and you'll be in my thoughts, lady!
